More Frequent Saliva Tests in Belgium: A Necessity for Safer Roads
The Belgian government is intensifying its efforts to ensure that roads are safer for everyone. From now on, the police will be able to more frequently subject motorists to a saliva drug screening test, as reported by Het Nieuwsblad. This new measure is accompanied by an expansion of the list of signs allowing officers to carry out a check. An essential action to limit the risks related to drug use while driving, both for drivers and other road users.
Driving under the influence of illegal substances represents a major danger to road safety. Every day in Belgium, no fewer than 36 drivers are caught under the influence of drugs, risking fines exceeding 1,000 euros and the loss of their driving license. With the update of this legislation, new symptoms will be added to the list of criteria allowing a saliva test, thus increasing the number of drivers tested.
A Reliable Saliva Test for Increased Safety
At AMA Prévention, we are committed to providing high-quality solutions to contribute to road safety prevention. Our Drugdiag® saliva tests, French Manufacturer and compliant with CE standards, are designed to be easy to use and provide reliable results within minutes. These tests are number 1 in France and Europe for the medical field, offering rapid and precise detection of THC (cannabis), as well as other substances such as cocaine, opiates, and amphetamines.
These tests are valuable tools for employers, law enforcement, and safety-conscious individuals. Their medical quality is guaranteed by compliance with ISO 13485, ensuring a high level of accuracy. For individuals, our saliva tests allow quick verification of their ability to drive safely.
Fight Against New Synthetic Drugs
With the proliferation of new synthetic drugs and the use of laughing gas, it is increasingly crucial to develop complementary solutions for road safety prevention. Although these substances are not yet all detectable by standard saliva tests, at AMA Prévention, we are at the forefront of innovation to develop tools capable of meeting these new challenges.
The Minister of Mobility also highlighted a second measure aimed at strengthening the enforcement of sanctions. Foreign drivers, often more difficult to penalize, will now have to pay a deposit of 1,260 euros on the spot if they test positive, under penalty of having their vehicle seized by the police. This measure sends a strong signal, aimed at deterring anyone from taking the road under the influence of psychoactive substances.

💡 Practical information on screening
During a roadside check, the gendarmerie saliva test is commonly used to detect the presence of drugs. Many wonder how long the gendarmerie saliva drug test remains positive: it depends on metabolisms, but THC remains detectable for several hours to a few days. The gendarmerie thc saliva test (or gendarmerie saliva thc test) particularly targets recent cannabis consumption.
To do prevention at home or in the workplace, performing a thc saliva test (also called saliva thc test) is an excellent approach. If you are looking to equip yourself, you may wonder where to buy a gendarmerie saliva test equivalent? Although it can sometimes be difficult to find a thc saliva test in pharmacies, you can order our professional devices directly online.
🚨 Road Safety Reminder
Driving under the influence of narcotics is severely punished by law. Anticipate with a reliable self-test before getting behind the wheel.
B-SAFE scientific validation
The B-SAFE project, a drug detector pen for drinks, is validated and supported by Professor Jean-Claude Alvarez, toxicologist, professor of pharmacology-toxicology, and director of the toxicology laboratory at CHU Raymond-Poincaré/AP-HP in Garches.
An authority in toxicology, he is associated with the reference work conducted in France on psychoactive substances and chemical submission, in a national ecosystem also supported in public debate by voices such as Sandrine Josso and Caroline Darian.
This validation strengthens B-SAFE's technological positioning and the accuracy of its detection for drug prevention in drinks. Discover the B-SAFE product sheet.
